1. Feral Children
< http://www.feralchildren.com/en/index.php >
"Feral children, also known as wild children or wolf children, are children
who've grown up with minimal human contact, or even none at all. They may
have been raised by animals (often wolves) or somehow survived on their own.
In some cases, children are confined and denied normal social interaction
with other people."

saved again after drifting far out to sea off western England - the very next
day"
